Their children:

There were many James Kirmeen/Kirmeen and William Kermeen/Kirmeen families in Maughold in the 1700s and 1800s - probably all related?
This looks like the above father William Kermeen's family:
KERMEEN [daur of] John Kermeen/ Margaret Corkhill Parish Church 19 May 1816
KERMEEN William John Kermeen/ Margaret Corkill Parish Church 25 Aug 1811 - in 1861 census at Ballaberna.
KERMEEN James John Kermeen/ Margaret Corkill Parish Church 12 Dec 1819
KERMEEN Edward John Kermeen/ Margaret Corkill Parish Church 6 Jan 1822
